RIST WATCH.....COLOUR ME..........

Bigger is better, this summer!

Back in the day our mothers and grandmothers wore discreet, elegant pearls and single string necklaces. Long gone are these days along with the easy safe option when it came to the finishing touches of outfit. However, this year’s trend is all about big, bright and bold to make that ultimate statement when it come to womens jewellery.

Layering jewellery is hot, hot, hot this summer…why just settle for one small, when you can have lots of big ones! Several bead necklaces in different colours look simply fabulous when combined with a plain fitted dress. Make the ultimate statement this summer by wearing clashing colours like green/red, and yellow/red with your new daring jewellery.

Or go for the sexy look, whether at the beach or entertaining the fella, with a sexy sterling silver bracelet that mixes sexily with a beach throng or night gown.

The big bulky look is only ever truly achieved with chunky colourful metallic bangles that suit anyone’s shape and figure. Wearing fun colourful bangles when going to a party, or metallic bangles for evening wear…bigger is better and more of it to!

You don’t need to spend a fortune to accessorise this summer with fabulous jewellery.  There’s plenty of online shops out there such as What’s About Town who make looking good without breaking the bank easy!

Some people choose big bridesmaids to make them self feel better…

Not many people can brag about having a celebrity attending their big day, but even fewer can boast a celebrity bridesmaid…but I suppose she is family. This weekend pop sensation Pixie Lott celebrated her cousins wedding dressed in what can only be described as a ballerina dress. Nevertheless, the gorgeous Miss Lott looked like any other bridesmaid yesterday, beaming with smiles and prowess, but one thing was unique – the brides choice of bridesmaid dresses. The ‘Mama Do’ girl obviously didn’t have a say in the outfit, but still looked stunning. However, I think she’d have said ‘Mama Don’t’ if it was her own big day.

In the glorious sunshine, her corseted tutu dress showed off her shapely figure featuring a cute flower on the rear. Although the sexy temptress looked particularly stunning, she made sure to not draw to much attention – after all it wasn’t her big day after all.

Flower power is reigning supreme at the minute for Pixie, following a storming set at T4 on the Beach in Weston-Super-Mare last Sunday wearing a sexy key necklace.

But how can we get the iconic Lott style, such a distance away from this weekend’s bridesmaids dress. At only 18 years old and rising through the ranks as a chart topping artist, her voice is not the only thing that’s attracting thousands of adoring eyes. She’s also fantastic at looking fabulous! From hot pants to cute dresses and all the way back to the chunky bangles she sports. Her eye catching sequin hot pants and variety of blazers can all be bought on the high street from shops like New Look and Topshop! But what about all her sexy jewellery? Like all her attire, these can be bought at a fantastic price at places like What’s About Town, which make looking good and accessorising easy.

Feathertastic!

Getting in touch with nature is all the rage this season and there is no better way to do this than with feathers. Whether you are going for a 1920’s flapper look or a tribal earthy look, feathers can help you achieve this. Dangling from your ears, hanging from your neck or in your hair, feathers can be worn in a number of different ways. Feathers ooze exoticism yet still retain the attachment of traditional glamour and it is this symbolic beauty which has brought feathers to fashion. Celebrities such as Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Mischa Barton, Kate Bosworth and Jade Hagger love to adorn themselves in clothes, jewellery and accessories evocative of birds of paradise. The dreamlike delicate detailing conjured up by a single feather has now been turned into an urban trend. ‘What’s About Town?’ stock a number of different feather designs to help you achieve this season’s new trend which can be worn day and night. Our ‘Silver Style Bird And Feather Pendant’ is a chunky alternative to wearing feathers whereas, our ‘Long Feather Necklace And Earring Set’ is a more delicate approach to decorate yourself with. However, if you fancy a bit of bling and adding some sparkle to your life, then check out our ‘Sparkling Swarovski Crystal Feather Earrings’. Float away with feathers this season and let’s make this winter a fairytale (feather boas not permitted)!

Don’t skulk around but skull around!

It’s never too soon to prepare for What’s About Town’s? favourite holiday – Halloween, and what better way to do this than by adorning yourself in some kick ass skull and cross bone jewellery. Get in the ghoulish spirit and prepare yourself for ‘New Moon’ the sequel to ‘Twilight’ with a ‘WAT?’ ‘Sparking Crystal Smiley Skull And Crossbones Ring’. This edgy but yet oh so fashionable ring encrusted with crystals is the perfect way to accessorise your little black dress for a more stylised look. Top British designer Alexander McQueen is a seasonal sponsor of the elements of the skull and cross bone. Presenter Fearne Cotton, High School Musical sweetheart Ashley Tisdale and Gossip Girl goody two shoes Taylor Momsen are also avid fans of the rock chick look. For our more timid customers, our ‘Stretchy Skull Charm Bracelet’ with semi precious natural stone beads juxtaposed with an embellished crystal skull and cross bone charm is the perfect way to help you to pull off the rock chick look simply. However, don’t limit these pieces to just Halloween, wear these pieces all year round and put the punk and funk back into your jewellery box!
